Hungary is the second largest film production hub in Europe after the UK. Films such as DUNE and BLADE RUNNER 2049 were all filmed here. I decided that I would...

Want Success? Start Writing Your Own Narrative!

Want Success? Stop Listening to the Hollywood Narrative! Is it just me, or does it feel like Hollywood is set up to make you fail? Obstacle, after obstacle… Rejection, after rejection… It’s *almost* not even worth trying. And I can say ‘almost’ because those of us who still believe in the magic of our dreams, have a passion so strong that we are going to go for it, despite all of the hardships we hear about.
